It was only when I would tie him out on his cables (yes cables, 2 of the heaviest dog cables I could buy used together for security) that I had a problem. He was fine with people walking buy, but when someone would walk by with a poodle yapping at him he would go balistic, and you can only imagine the response from the yapping poodle owner when a 130lb Rottweiler comes charging in full protection guard dog mode. Once he goes to red zone there is nothing that can be done. We have a large breed shock collar and it doesnt even phase him when he gets like that. I learned quickly to only tied him out when it was dark out, and the poodles were all put away so the owls wouldnt find them as supper.
